We saw that a pre-9/11 poster advertising Dr. Caner as a speaker says that Dr. Caner's grandmother led him to Christ. We also see that in this video (about half way through - note the "almost in college" claim for his conversion date at the beginning) Dr. Caner says: "All it did, was take one simple grandmother, to explain to me that everything's a trinity. Space is a Trinity, Time is a Trinity." (link to current place)(link to original source - now broken)I don't know whether Dr. Caner's grandmother was influential in his conversion. I don't know the truth of how he came to serve Christ - and I don't need to know that. I wonder whether perhaps his grandmother was influential in that process, along with his classmate from high school, but I obviously have no way of knowing. Indeed, in the video clip linked-to above, Dr. Caner does not even say that the grandmother was his grandmother, or that this explanation was provided before his conversion. Still, it is an interesting clip.I don't really care for the spatial and temporal analogies to the Trinity. I don't see any need here to get into why that is, but I think it's sufficient to say I don't think the Trinity as Trinity is directly analogous to anything in nature - the Trinity is other.-TurretinFan
